The two sides clashed on whether the attack had been pre-planned, and whether Pistorius knew who was inside the bathroom.

The athlete was remanded to a Pretoria police station after his first appearance in court on Friday, when prosecutors said they intended to pursue a case of premeditated murder against the South African athlete, which means he could face a life sentence.

He was arrested after his model girlfriend was shot at his Pretoria home on Thursday.

Speaking after the funeral service, Reeva Steenkamp's brother Adam said: "Everyone is sad, understandably, but at certain points we were smiling because we have only got good memories of her.

"There's a space missing inside all the people that she knew that cannot be filled again.

"We're going to keep all the positive things that we remember and know about my sister and we will try and continue with the things that she tried to make better. We'll miss her."
